Of all my book reviews, this one brings me the most joy.

My life has been forever transformed since

I've started living in the grown zone.

Enjoy!

It took me a minute to get to this book after I ordered it,
but once I started reading I couldn’t put it down. It is the perfect end of the
year book for me since it is my intention to attract a healthy love interest in
2015. Not only have these two authors given me a formula but their book, Loving
In The Grown Zone, will be my reference point. There are so many gold nuggets
among these pages. I can see myself writing them on post-it notes and sticking
them everywhere to remind me “How To Recognize Good Love” (one of my favorite
chapters). You see, I could be the poster child for all their examples of
unhealthy relationships and behaviors. Now, armed with the knowledge contained
in this book, I know what went wrong and what not to do or accept from this
point forward. It starts with self love which I admit I’m pretty good at these
days. Then, even when that special person enters my life, I know we have to
take our time to get to know each other and give each other the “honor, esteem
and respect” we both deserve.

Thank you Zara Green and Alfred Edmond Jr. for reminding me
that I have a lot to offer and therefore it’s quite normal for me to set high
standards for those who would prove worthy of my time and company. And thank
you for letting me know what to look for in a partner and how that should feel.

I highly recommend this book to anyone needing a
relationship reality check. The writers give it to you with real talk. Their
style is like a good friend or your favorite relative giving you advice that
you wish you had had years ago. They’ve packaged this wisdom so that it will
always be available. I know I will be returning to these pages often. And when
they come across a single, healthy Grown Zone man looking for love, they have
permission to give him my number.

Zara D. Green and Alfred Edmond Jr. are
co-principals of A2Z Personal Growth Enterprises, producer of The Grown
Zone discussion series and related media properties. The couple leads
sessions on personal growth, self-love and resiliency, healthy
relationships and “Grown” decision-making via online and live events
across the country. They know this book is changing the conversation
about healthy love. You can grab your copy HERE.

Although this is not an actual book review it is somewhat of a combination of Ask A Stage Goddess and An Actor's Library. Here I tell you what the four agreements are and how to apply them as an actor. They are great principles to live by in every area of life.
